4:01 am
good morning, everybody. you are watching "the pulse." we are live from bloomberg's european headquarters in london. >> this is what is coming up. a celebrity chef joins "the pulse." he will give us his take on restaurant trends and a sneak preview of his new tv series. that is 30 minutes from now. >> another interview you will not want to miss is with microsoft exec satya nadella. he has been shortlisted as a possible successor to steve ballmer. he speaks with us exclusively at the top of the next hour. >> we begin with an exclusive conversation with mark carney. he spoke with charlie rose about the state of the u.k. mortgage market, calling it rocksolid. >> what do we need to know? what did he say? >> we are looking at a recovery
4:02 am
in the wider economy in the u.k. and you have got to think about what is important. what is the risk of the low rate policy? the big issue at the moment is the u.k. housing market. it is a big issue. this is what mark carney had to say to charlie rose. >> if you look at that mortgage market today versus where it was in 2007, it is rocksolid. 2007-2008, 60% of the mortgages put less than 10% down on a house. now 85% of mortgages put a lot more down on houses. but this is a housing market that is still relatively firmly valued, let's put it that way. , more broadlyndon around the country relative to incomes.
4:03 am
and within the context of households that have paid down about 30% of debt relative to their income over the last five years, that is good. they still have a fair amount of oft related to income american households. you look at that situation and say, ok, there is some welcome to cover he in the u.k. housing market. let's be prudent. let's act early. a rocksolid mortgage market compared to precrisis. probably not a difficult thing to say, because it was pretty bad in 2007. nonetheless, a lot of people saying that this still smells a little bit like 2007. >> interest rates will probably have to go up a little bit sooner than he wants them to. >> i think it is more about the housing market. the risk is, if the housing market goes on a tear and he is going to raise rates, is the rest of the economy ready for that?
4:04 am
seems to be very concerned about the housing market. i think the message is not that. the message here, the concerned about the housing market, but more concerned about the risk to the low rate policy. you see him losing -- you see him using these tools. doesig question now, what this mean over the next 6-12 months? does this set up a clash between mr. carney and mr. osborne? apparently people do not need to know about it to understand it. >> i think it will do not understand the implications yet. perhaps that is what jon was talking about. >> the latest on what governor carney said. you can watch his full interview tonight on bloomberg. >> make sure you tune into that. it is interesting, to say the least. let's turn our attention to the other good news for the u.k. general public. tui travel announced record
4:05 am
profits today. manus cranny is here to write down the numbers. -- to break down the numbers. >> a three-year recession. get me out of here. think about the brands. thompson, first choice. the point about to eat travel -- sent in -- they are they are selling more holidays online at better prices. the stock is giving up initial gains. he is speaking to journalists right now and saying they are going to take a page out of the german system. that is their biggest market, where numbers declined. the u.k. and nordic's, the number of people being carried by qe are up. they are doing more specialized and tailor-made holidays. they interact with you all the way through the process. margins are also improving in the u.k. and in the nordics relative to thomas cook.
4:06 am
>> france has been a problem for companies in recent reports. what is the latest on that country? it is still tough. a lot of the french want to go to north africa and tunisia. egypt is open for business again and we are seeing a rebuilding. it is coming from a low base. the overall numbers of passengers that they carried in france dropped by some 17%. some breaking headlines now from the conference call where peter long is making his statement at the google hq, trying to interact with technology as a key issue. it isrance, he said that a perfect storm. a lot of french people like to go to egypt and tunisia and there are problem issues for the company. he said the french unit will write even by 2015. this is the part of the business which lost 48 million pounds in 2012 and 60 million pounds in
4:07 am
2013. technology is key. it will be interesting to see what he thinks over at google hq. >> thank you very much, talking about the french problem at tui travel. we saw production data out of the french economy this morning. that might be impacted by our next story. cut almost 6000 jobs from its defense and space unit. let's get more details on what happens next from david tweed. he joins us from berlin. the origins of this restructure must lie with the failed merger with bae systems. since then, management looking very carefully at this unit. >> not that long ago, management wanted to see half of the business coming from the airbus civil aircraft business and half of the business coming from defense and space. since the merger was dropped by the germans, they have stepped
4:08 am
right away from this. it is also a reflection of the drop in spending that we are seeing in europe. that is something that tom eggers was talking about. markets in europe are particularly down. one example is that, think about it. france put in orders for 50 a- 400 military aircraft transport planes. in the budget, only 15 were actually budgeted. they are not getting the support that they were looking for from european governments who are big shareholders. why keep up the unwieldy infrastructure of defense companies? seeing why we are closures going on in four countries as well as 6000 jobs, which represents about four percent of their workforce. >> are investors concerned that there is too much focus on the aviation business? >> you might think, if they do
4:09 am
focus on the business, it could help the share size. 71% so far this year because there is still more road to come, according to analysts we have been speaking to. with oil prices above $100 per barrel, there is a lot of continued incentive for the aircraft industry to jettison those older aircraft and get more efficient fleets. we are seeing that happening in the united states, china, indonesia. >> thank you so much. david tweed. >> let's talk tech now. in the decade since the web conference was launched in paris , there have been a lot of achievements in technology that affect many aspects of our lives. let's talk about what we are learning from this year's event. caroline hyde is at the event. the tech world is a very different ways compared with 2003.

let's talk about some of the sensory industries and how technology affects how we deal with food. you have become a scientist especially -- essentially. i went into some amazing restaurants in france and all of the things i remember, the sound of the crickets, the smell of the lavender. carving legs of lamb at the table, it was like falling down a rabbit hole into wonderland. i read a book about the science of cooking. in his book, he said browning your mean does not keep in the juices.
4:46 am
i thought about it, and thought that is really obvious. i then questioned everything. it was that mind that led to all of those things. cooking and eating involves all of the senses, and i found myself in this crossroad. i did a demo in spain in 2003. it was a multisensory experience. somebody said i just care about the food. you cannot take that approach. if you look at the ability of this approach to deal with things like health issues, a big cause of depression is loss of smell.
